PEEP adjustment in ARDS due to influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 in accordance with balance between recruitment and overdistension (based on EELV and VCO measurements) can improve gas exchange, probably, not leading to right ventricular failure. This value of "balanced" PEEP is in the range between 15 and 18 mbar: Low lung recruitabiilty is associated with poor prognosis. Measurements of EELV and VCO₂ at PEEP 8 and 20 mbar can be used to make a decision on whether to keep "high" PEEP level or switch to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patient with ARDS due to influenza A (N1H1).
